SHAC: The Documentary

by Peter Young  (Simulposted with Voice of the Voiceless)


Last month’s post on upcoming films covering persecuted and repressed methods of achieving animal liberation had one glaring omission: The upcoming SHAC (Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty) documentary, “Terrorist“.

A word on film: I believe as individuals we should spent less time watching, and more time doing. And as a movement, one of our biggest failures is allowing into our lives and activism pacifiers disguised as weapons – from “recreational” drugs to internet activism. Watching films on radical subjects is still watching, still being a passive receptor over an active agitator. All that said, to the extent we do not confuse being the consumer of films for embodying their message, “Terrorist” is a necessary document of a powerful story, which deserves a wide audience.

This documentary gives a voice to the urgent warning of a tragic chapter in both our movement, and the history of our constitution: the conviction of the SHAC 7.

Peter Young is a veteran animal liberation activist and former political prisoner convicted for his role in liberating thousands of animals from fur farms across the country. Emerging from a grand jury indictment, 7 years of being wanted by the FBI, a federal prison sentence, and nearly 15 years in the animal liberation movement; today Peter is a frequent lecturer at universities and events, writer on liberation movements, and unapologetic supporter of those who work outside the law to achieve human, earth, and animal liberation.   Peter is the creator of Voice Of The Voiceless, a website created “to effectively arm those fighting for the liberation of all life.”
